Guest guest Posted September 18, 2000 Report Share Posted September 18, 2000 Hi Suzanne- I think I am in the same boat you're in...Fat...Wants desperately to loose it...Insurance company may not pay. Your letter reminded me so much of myself. I have osteoarthritis and it hurts to walk, at times. Maybe this is just the 'miracle' that we have been looking for! You are in my prayers.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2000 Report Share Posted September 18, 2000 Hi Suzanne, I am from Orange Park, Fl. I to have many of the same problems you have. I have arthritis in my knees which you and I know would be greatly improved if we were not carrying this extra 100 pounds around on them. I have tried for years to diet and I loose then gain it back plus 10 pounds, I called my insurance company and they say if it is medically necessary they pay. I say it is medically necessary and my pcp says it is medically necessary. He is sending me for a stress test and could not get it scheduled until October 5 so I guess I will know more then. I am planning on going to Durham at the end of the month so I hope to get the rest of my contacts then. So far I have not gotten my Packet everyone is talking about. I guess Dr.R studies your registration form and fills out something for your insurance company then. I am going to relax and do things as they come up instead of jumping ahead. I wanted to get this done in early October as My daughter is having a baby at the end of October. She is still living at home and she needs my help. I could help a whole lot more if I did not have as much weight and my knees would let me get up and down without agony.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2000 Report Share Posted September 18, 2000 I sent in my info. Still have not recieved my letter from Dr. R. I am working on my packet. I still need about 4 contacts with post ops. I finished my letter today. What a chore. I hope to get approved and have surgery sometime in October. Keep your fingers crossed.I may get insurance approval, but I am not going to wait for them. I will self pay if the insurance is not ready when I am.
